Download Snap Send Solve from the App Store or Google Play, or online at www.snapsendsolve.com to your mobile device to report local issues you come across within the shire.  These issues range from fallen trees, potholes and dumped rubbish to cracked pavements, graffiti and more and you just have to take a photo and input any notes before sending directly to council for it to be actioned within our systems.  Snap Send Solve automatically recognises where you are situated so you do not need to know how or where to report incidents on the spot. There is no automatic acknowledgement capability with this program; if you want a response please add that detail into the comments section of your report.
